OF the valor of their fathers who fought not only
for q lost cause but for cause that the judgment

and never 10 be sustained again. Where could
Mr.. Cleveland have gotten the knowledge ia his
former life TO know enough not 10 do what be did?
IL was not his fault, but IL was his misfortune
that he did not know anything upon this subject.
He acted according TO the light he had, ana he
had no Cabinet TO give him any more upon IL. We

Mills had gone on to Washington with nearly the
entire amount OF the pension. When it became
known that the Pattersons and DR.. Mills had fed
from the city Wilkes Miller, a well-known citizen
went before Justice Catalan and SwOre to the
following statement:
"Some six years ago, at the Pennsylvania House.

to receive 500. At the same time and place the
same parties asked me TO impersonate another

where 1 was not known, and 60 before justice of
the peace and make the same affidavit. For this
was also to receive 800. refused to make this
affidavit. Some time in March Mills again came
to me and requested me to make another affidavit
similar to the one made six years ago relative to
PatterSOn'S sore eyes. For this l was TO receive
81 900 in case the pension was secured. made
the affidavit under the above promise. now SOL

Miller signed the above af1davit, and Mr.. Gala
tian Immediately certified to its genuneness and
then sealed 1t and mailed it to the authorities at
Washington. II reached here Friday, and word
was received at Elmira, Saturday, that Govern
ment Oficial would be on to give it his immediate
attention. Miller says he is willing TO stand by
his statement II he has to go with the others TO
prison. He says they failed to keep their promise.
II is now charged that Patterson'S blindness was
caused by disease and not by service in the Army,
and that the large amount OF pensions received by
one connected with the alleged fraudulent trans
action.

Still i'm Had Luck.
THE wAsHrNGToNs LOSE GAME THROUGH AN ERROR
By THE UMPIRE


The washington ball team seem unable to shake
on their streak Of bad luck. On Saturday they
lost game to Philadelphia by score of z to g.
All accounts agree, however, that the Statesmen
were unfairly treated by the umpire. The Phila-
delphia Press says that the umpire gave them the
worst Of decision In the seventh inning, which
made vast difference in the result OF the game
He called Myers out when that player was lying
on top OF the home base. Had the correct decision
been given the ninth inning would have found the
score tied.
Blaming the umpire is poor excuse
generally, but In this instance it would
seem to be a clear case OF bad judgment
the statesmen have started ON their Western tour,
ana IL Is hoped they Will improve their record.
They play an exhibition game In Altoona to-day,
ana to-mOrrOw will play with Detroit.
